> Brenda: "Lastly why wouldn't Rowling include a vampire 
character in her story. She has witches, wizards, trolls, giants, 
werewolves, goblins, elves, centaurs etc. It would be strange to 
entirely rule out the inclusion of a vampire."<

Jim Ferer:
> There's no reason for her not to include a vampire if she wants 
to, but there's no reason ought to include one, either. Do stories 
have to have representation from every group?  How about 
hags?<

Pippin:
Yes, how about them?

from her stupid voice to her fluffy pink cardigan [...] She smiled, 
revealing very pointed teeth.

Very pointed teeth??!   Wouldn't it be just dripping with irony if
our Dolores  Umbridge is a half-breed or a disguised 
part-human herself?  (I know this list doesn't quite go along with 
Lexicon Steve in regarding the chocolate frog cards from the 
video games as canon, but it does mention in the PoA game that 
hags have been known to disguise themselves as human 
women.)

It would also be amusingly ironic if Fudge gets turned out of 
office when it's discovered that he hired a hag as his assistant. 
Right move, wrong reasons.
